Casio CMD40 Watch

You can tell a lot about someone by the watch they wear. I wear a Casio CMD 40 which says:

I AM A BIG FAT CALCULATOR/REMOTE CONTROL WATCH GEEK AND GODDAMN PROUD OF IT!

I’ve had it for about two years and I’m in love with it. I’ve programmed it to control my telly and my home cinema amp. Allegedly, you can nick car alarm’s infra-red control signals via the Casio’s learning ability but I dunno – if you’re geeky enough to work this watch, you’re probably too clever to be a car thief. I’m saying this based on the strange situation we have where most adults are apparently so tech-afraid they can’t even program their videos.

Hell, if you get bored with the remote functions, it’s still a great calculator. The buttons, although tiny, are very responsive and it’s immensely handy.

When I see people with normal digital watches or, the ultimate horror, analogue watches (spit), I pity the poor fools. They’re chasing after style, status and conformity. Whereas I can program my watch to CONTROL THE WORLD!!! BWAHAHAHA! THE SIMPLETONS! THEY ARE AS ANTS BEFORE MY CASIO!

Plus, it’s always fun sneaking into Currys and seeing how many telly channels you can change before getting chucked out…
